Bike Snob NDC

Recently the wicked awesome bike blog Bike Snob NYC hosted a knuckle tattoo competition that we totally killed! The competition was held as a tribute to another bike blog Fat Cyclist. The rules of the competition were pretty simple:

1) Somehow involve Fat Cyclist2) Somehow involve knuckle tattoos3) Is an image or video that people can look at on a blog.

Oh and also "any entrants who actually get a real permanent subcutaneous Fat Cyclist knuckle tattoo will be automatically disqualified"

The Uber Prize (that's the prize that comes before the first prize) that we were aiming for? a Chris King fight breast cancer edition bottom bracket - in pink:

The entry was named by Bike Snob NYC as "Knuckle Pants". The fat cyclists back mass is spread across 7.5 knuckles, while the thin legs and back wheel are printed onto the thumb.
